Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
I regret not having a picture but I worked in a quarry in NH years ago. We had an '82 C-60 six-wheeler we used to call Stub. We all drove old Macks with Mack-10s or 8spLLs or mine with the 6sp you could eat a sandwich between gears but this little truck would kick all of our a**es. It had a little kitty with a 5sp and 2sp rear that shifted when it wanted to and made sure to let you know it was mad about it. Funny thing that after all the abuse we put old Stub through, it did not break, ever. We broke, it didn't.

E80 Dump, (yes they were E80s not C80s) 1965? GMC version was a B series. Auction ad had it listed as a 1970 though. Someone got a nice truck for $1400.00

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Wow! It's been so ling since I've seen a Chevy I forgot they made them. What a deal!!
|
Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Well, I have to admit, I never knew Chevy made one. Everyone I have ever seen was a GMC. I'm sure they are listed in my Chevy Manuals, but without any pictures, I just never noticed.
Nice truck. Air Brakes and a Factory Tach to boot. Someone got a great deal for $1400. I would had paid cash on the spot for that one. A '64 to '66 for sure and probably a '65 as mentioned, but I would sure love to see a close-up of that Side Emblem. Any idea on what was under the Hood? Bill |
Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Auction did not list anything other than 5+2 transmission. Truck was from Colorado Springs and auction was last summer in Henderson Colorado. First Chevy I've ever seen of that style other than the dealer photos.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
I don't see any signs of it being a Diesel. If it is a '65 for sure and a Gas Engine, it could very well be a 409.
Bill |
Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Yeah,I wondered if it's a gasser what motor it had. Was wondering being a Chevy if it had the 409
|
Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
65 Models you could still get a 348 or 409

Looks like the LCF E and W series 80 models were only diesel powered. Produced 62-65? The GMC B series were identical and more popular. The Model E80 had a diesel engine GM 6V-53 , W80s a 6V-53N. Doesn't look like they came with gas engines.
They were replaced by the H series in '66, correct me if I'm wrong. |

I know the GMCs came with V12 or V6. I don't know about Chevys. Nice ad pictures!

Great pictures of some Chevys. It looks like they do share the same type of Side Emblems as the other models do.

I feel bad because I thought I might be the first to put a 16V DD in a truck but I was wrong again. This is the personal truck of the owner of Werner transportation, I think its safe to say he had enough money to get the job done. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't of found the pics and story,wish there were more pics. I'm a bit jelous, think I'll put batteries on my 16s and crank them over a bit, I know they are free cause I barred them over last week. Keep you posted when I fire them. Mine will never look like Werner's, They will stay big green monsters.

Look at the old cracker box in the background.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
It looks like in the pic where they are lifting the van that they poured concrete pads and put the B on heavy jack stands.

I like to go by CA (Cab to Axel). My best guess, by a little rough measuring, would be 204 Inches. That would be from the Back of the Cab to the exact Center of the Tandems.
I agree that it was most likely special built. About the only bed I can imagine on there would be an extra long Ladder Truck (Fire Truck). Bill |
Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
That 6500 is either a '64 or '65 and unless they improved the Steering on them from the '62 6500 I used to drive, that truck would be hard to take a corner with. Those trucks had a couple of weaknesses and one of them was that they wouldn't turn. Even with my 16 Ft Flatbed, with about a 126 CA, you had to really plan your turns.
One day back at the yard, I parked the truck with the wheels turned fully to the right and got out just to see what it looked like. It looked like it was only about halfway turned compared to the average truck out there. I then fully understood the challanges I was having with it. Bill |

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Nice to see a great 'ol truck still working. If there was a brand new one parked next to that GMC, you can guess which one I'd be jumping in.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Me too. This area was once a nice little no light country town in farm land. Now it's busy street and an upscale suburb. But,there's still some good farming going on. It was refreshing for me to see this big grain truck in the midst of all that

Some nice trucks there. That Black Tandem Dump is about the nicest one I've ever seen of it's type. I'd call that a Super Heavy Medium.

Although this video is not a Chevrolet 40 to 60 series truck, the engine powering this 1971 GMC TDH-3301 transit bus is the same Toro-Flow DH478 diesel V-6 as used in those trucks. Due to the poor nature of the beast, these were usually replaced by other engines, including the Detroit Diesel 6V53. This leads me to ask: does anyone here have any pictures of any 1967-72 CG/MG50s or CG/MG60s with the DH478 engine? ~Ben |
